Twisting light in liquid crystals could shrink future quantum hardware
Light is not supposed to behave like a trapped whirlpool, yet researchers have now shown that it can do exactly that inside a ...
Quantum spin liquids are exotic states of matter in which spins (i.e., the intrinsic angular momentum of electrons) do not settle into an ordered pattern and continue to fluctuate, even at extremely ...

Scientists create tornado of light that could power next-gen lasers and quantum devices
Light usually travels in straight lines, but what if it could twist, spiral, and ...
Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum conditions. Researchers identified how to tune these transitions and even ...
Quantum computers are gaining a reputation among chemists and material scientists as promising tools that can tackle problems ...
Researchers from Hanns-Christoph Nägerl's group have produced the world's first ultracold KCs molecules in their absolute ground state. Starting by mixing clouds of potassium and cesium atoms cooled ...
